The VIPs Put Put Into Operation Numerous Programs In Order To Lower The Costs Related To Poor Employee Work Performance

Christine is a fifty-four-year-old woman who is the director of the HR department at a large plastics molding company. To help diminish the costs correlated with work related injuries, excessive sick days, increasing absenteeism, employee alcoholism and alcohol abuse, and poor employee work performance, Christine and the other company executives implemented several programs that made the work environment considerably more safe, healthy, and more productive.

For instance, thirteen years ago Christine and the other company executives put into operation an Employee's Assistance Program so that all the workers had access to quality therapy for their personal problems that could unfavorably affect their work performance, personal well being, and their health.

As another example, around six years ago Christine and the other company executives built a forward-looking workout and exercise room complete with scales, exercise charts, weights, mirrors, many different types of exercise equipment, and a professional trainer during business hours.

As another example, nearly two years ago, Christine and the other VIPs implemented a "Weight-Watchers" class that at this time meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:00 PM until 6:00 PM. In addition, the company leaders employed a weight-loss professional to manage the program.

In the last eleven months, in combination with the Employee's Assistance Program, Christine and the other company executives put into operation an "Anger Management" class for workers who want to learn how to better manage their anger.

In the last three months, Christine and the other company administrators put into operation a drug and alcohol testing program that is associated with their alcohol and drug abuse prevention program. In fact, Christine is the primary individual in the company responsible for getting the message out to all the workers about the drug and alcohol testing program as well as the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program.

Another relatively recent addition to the drug and alcohol abuse prevention program is a class entitled "Alcohol Statistics and Facts." The rationale behind this alcohol statistics facts class is that quite a few individuals fail to grasp the full impact of the results of alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse without first learning about some of the alcohol abuse and alcoholism statistics and facts that are available. As a consequence, one of the objectives of this class is to provide various alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse statistics and facts in order to help employees gain a better realization of the host of problems that are linked to excessive and irresponsible drinking and how they can prevent these difficulties from occurring.

Most recently Christine and the other company leaders, via observations from employees, created a class that centers directly on acute drinking entitled "What is Alcoholism"? This class meets every Monday morning an hour-and-a-half before work and focuses mostly on the differences between alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse, on some of the main differences between statistics on alcohol abuse and statistics on alcoholism, and on the different forms of treatment that are available for people who have alcohol drinking problems such as people who drink in a hazardous manner.

Although every single one of these health and preventative maintenance programs was anything but low-cost, the VIPs feel that they are many thousands of dollars ahead by providing all of their employees with a safe, healthy, and more productive work atmosphere.
